[QUOTE="Mayapple5, post: 207725, member: 6223"] Yesterday we had a great morning. It was "wear you costume to school day" so I kept her home. I let her know exactly what we were going to do up to her nap time. It worked out perfectly as she likes routine and does very well knowing what to expect. BUT she didn't take a nap! I had been to her room three times to get her to close eyes and sleep our there would be no computer, no reading, no ...., but nothing worked! I just knew how the evening would go at church, especially since the routine there was going to be different as we had a special service planned instead of kid's clubs. It would have been better if I had stayed home with her! :angry: We had time before church to stop at WalMart, she through an all out melt down (her first out in the open like that) in the store! My husband started to protest. I just reminded him what we had been taught to ignore people's stares and dirty looks and smile and just walk out. The kindly old gentle man at the front door wanted to console her with a happy face sticker. I told him no thank you, she had already thrown the one he gave her upon entering, on the floor! She wouldn't leave her seat belt buckled in the truck so I sat beside her in the back (little space) with her kicking me and had my hand on the buckle the three miles to church and sitting her legs and her screaming that I was hurting her. It didn't get any better at church. When she takes a nap, she is just as happy and contented as can be, most of the time. But even quiet time up there won't cut it, she has to sleep. She expends so much energy in the morning (on purpose on my part) that I hope she is tired enough to sleep. But sleep wouldn't come yesterday. I just wanted to pull my hair out. I think of taking her to a Neuro. Psy. but then I think, what if she tells them things I'd rather she not tell anyone. How much do these doctors believe from these kids? Of course I wouldn't deny ever having spanked her, but I'd rather not have to admit it either. We live biblically here and we spank according to the bible (most of the time). I do get frustrated and I have spanked out of frustration. I'm terribly upset with myself afterwards and just hold and cuddle her, sending her so many mixed messages and that makes her so confused even more. I'm messing my kid up, aren't I? It doesn't happen often, I try to walk away and close my bedroom door, but most of the day, most days it's just the two of us and I can't leave her alone, unsupervised, ever, for a moment, for me to count to 10 behind a closed door.
